Jagen Vanryth - Dark Knight - Battle Commence #sunoverse

[Intro] I step through the ash where the dead still scream Air tastes like iron, rot, and broken dreams Your shadow looms like a promised end But I’ve worn death’s crown before, old friend Every footfall cracks the bones below I don’t come to kneel—I come to grow [Verse 1] You stand there calm with your hollow grin Scythe dripping futures you swear you’ll win You speak in endings, I answer in scars I’ve crawled out of hell just to meet who you are... You call me mortal, you call me frail But I learned long ago how to feed on fail You strike first—good—let me feel it land Steel through flesh, divinity through hand My ribs cave in, I taste my breath But pain’s just a door, and I walk with death You laugh like it’s over, like I’m already gone But you don’t hear the war drum beating on... I’m on my knees in a pool of red Your shadow says I should stay dead [Pre-Chorus] Vision blurs, world fades black But I’ve never been good at not coming back! [Chorus 1] I rise on hate, I breathe in night Every drop of blood makes me bite Harder—stronger—feed the flame Your end is etched into my name You thought I’d break, you thought I’d fall I grow my wings against the wall [Verse 2] Your smile slips just a little thin You feel the shift under your skin You swing again but now you’re late I’ve synced my pulse with your fate I grab the blade, let it chew my hand Pull you close so you understand I drink the dark pouring off your frame Steal your cold, inherit your pain Every scream you’ve harvested feeds me Every soul you’ve taken frees me You step back now, eyes wide and sharp You finally see the beast in the dark! [Pre-Chorus] We’re both breathing hard in the fog of war You want my head—I want you sore Blood on our teeth, smiles cracked Say it with your silence—we’re not done yet! [Chorus 2] I rise again, not finished yet Carved from rage and silhouette You swing to kill, I swing to stay I don’t need tomorrow—I own today Strike for strike, we break the ground Two dying gods, no victor crowned! [Bridge] Black spills down like a funeral veil Steel meets bone, we refuse to fail I feel your scythe tear through my side You feel my hands rip yours wide No sky, no earth—just breath and blows A storm of blood wherever we go! [Outro] We stand there laughing, torn and wrecked Neither of us ready to collect You nod once—I bare my teeth This isn’t the end, it’s a belief Walk away knowing one thing’s true— I’ll be waiting… and I’ll finish you!
